An unfinished brick building with bunk beds crammed into two small rooms, a small kitchen, no storage for household items, surrounded by more than 100 Chinese acres of fields.

As I keep saying and saying and saying, I started my first year here as an English and German double major–and stick with me, I’m going somewhere with this.

I’ve mentioned before that I’m involved in stuff. At the end of my last post I mentioned the importance of involvement with student organizations here on campus. I guess I realized as I continued to think about it that my feelings on the subject are more than what fits into a little blurb at […]
